While everyone was focused on the sharp rise recently of the price of WTI crude oil, other things have been conspiring against domestic refiners of all sorts. Here’s what you need

During the Sustainability 2008 Conference hosted in Vancouver, British Columbia, Mantra Venture Group’s VP of Technology Evaluation John Russell participated in an interview to discuss the company’s ERC (electro-reduction of carbon dioxide) Technology.

Carbon dioxide is the main contributor to climate change and accounts for about two thirds of greenhouse gases produced by human activities. Currently, one quarter of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions are released from the burning of fossil fuels in stationary coal-fired power plants. Since large scale applications have not yet been able to make the shift to renewable energy, fossil fuels remain the most cost effective option energy source available.

Scientists and innovators are now looking at methods to manage the CO2 released so that it doesn’t enter our atmosphere. These methods

Mantra Venture Group Ltd. is a diversified Green Tech company focused on becoming a world leader in the development of commercially viable sustainable technologies by minimizing the impact of human activity of our climate, environment and health. The company aims to bridge the gap between innovation and investment by identifying and incubating clean tech innovations and renewable energy solutions.

Mantra has acquired the intellectual property for a process developed at the University of British Columbia that converts carbon dioxide into useful, profitable products. This process, named ERC, uses carbon dioxide, electricity and water to produce fuels and chemicals such as formic acid, formates and oxygen. The technology could be applied in a closed-loop fuel cell cycle, converting carbon dioxide into a fuel that is then used in a fuel cell to generate energy.

The company has also signed an exclusive Option Agreement to acquire the license of the Biometals Recovery System (BRS),
